Ingrown Hairs on Bikini Line

Jul 8, 2008

An ingrown hair on my bikini line keeps coming back. Why?

When you wax or shave repeatedly, your hair can start to grow in at an angle and loop back into the follicle, causing the skin to close over it. Slough off the top layer of skin with salicylic acid daily to let the strand grow in the right direction, advises dermatologist Nicholas Perricone.
